@Sensrock20 This varied depending on where I was at in my studies. At the beginning I would do 2 hours a day Mon-Fri and then 4-5 hours on the weekends but I was still learning the basics. I of course would take a day off here and there. From Augus…

@Publiclydisplayedname-1 Hi, thanks for asking! As I said above, please take my personal techniques with a grain of salt. Everyone has their own techniques that work better for them and ultimately this may not work for everyone. I used to read the q…

Take my steps with a grain of salt, everyone has their own technique. The only one I really advocate is reading stim first. This was a game-changer for me in LR. It was hard to switch after 10 months of reading questions first but I urge anyone to g…

@mattscrappy This helps A LOT! Thanks! The difference between restating a premise and validating a premise just clicked, thank you soo much for putting it this way! At the moment I miss 1-3 on LR and it's usually these curve-breaker level questions …

I have since received a load of messages about which tutor I got that kept me accountable and I want to clarify a few things: What I wrote didn't pertain to me but was merely a tip for people to search for a tutor that fits with their learning meth…

Thanks so much for your comments! I appreciate your kind words. Actually, what happened pushed me forward because it sort of ties into the law I want to study. Also, It sounds really intense but I rest when needed:) I got my covid booster two weeks…

@lawyer2021 I have been studying since January of this year. I started with 7Sage and the LSAT Trainer. Different techniques work for different people and I found for me that the LSAT Trainer Style of combining studying for all sections at once wasn…

Following! Same issues with RC

@cgbon I think they did this to student who have their permanent address in LSAC different than their registered testing location as students must test in the location they are currently at. It is totally okay for students living outside of the US t…

You can't do that unfortunately. They check to make sure your mic and camera are on and if you mute your mic there will be pop up alert on ProctorU and you definitely don't want to have your test interrupted by a proctor and be distracted. Also, i…

The webinar was free only if you caught it live. I live in Germany and it was at 3am my time so I missed it but if you are a PowerScore student you can watch it for free on the online student center OR if you are NOT a PowerScore student, you can si…

I'm sort of panicking. I think LSAC messed up. I am testing in the EMEA region and not only is my test date wrong, my times are all US time zones and I live in Europe??? How is it possible that the earliest I can take my test is a 1:00pm my time? I …

@taylor9711 Thanks! So, LG was the first section I perfected and I would get around -3 on LR but always -7 to -9 on RC. It was my worst section and I dreaded it. In addition to the things I did in my comment above (and reading Atomic Habbits and doi…

Hi! I'm in a similar spot, aiming to break 170s and have been stuck on 168 for a few PTs. I also had been PTing back to back but this wasn't helping. My LG is usually -0 so I started to instead focus on LR (usually -4 to -6) and RC (usually -2 to -3…

I am stuck at 168-170 and can't seem to break the barrier! -0 at LG but always -3 to -4 on LR and RC. Would LOVE some tips!

Hi! Full-time worker here, though I work from my home office so I'm not sure how relevant this can be for you. I've been studying for the LSAT since January and took it in June but scored below my testing average so am taking October again. I starte…

With those metrics I don't see a problem getting scholarship money from UCLA at all. You can also check out LSAT Demon's scholarship estimator (estimator being the key word here) which estimates based on each law school's 509 data, your GPA, LSAT sc…

I did PT 88 two days ago for the first time in preparation for the June-Flex. I missed 4 total for the entire games section, -1 on Game 3 and -3 on Game 4. I just ran out of time and panicked a bit. In BR I got -0 so for me it wasn't comprehension b…

I have been doing this technique with my LR sections and it really helps! I have a "Wrong Answers" excel sheet where I type the following in different columns: question type (weakening, MSS, etc.) the stimulus, question stem, answer I chose, correct…

Same here!
